Seems like the latest issue of 'Motor' magazine (Australia) has copied the CAR article in its entirety. Annoying when they try to make out like it's the Australian spec but include photos of LHD with less standard spec than we get here.

I guess a lot of us won't agree with the outcome (that's why I've ordered a M135 and not the A45 after all) but as others have pointed out, they do say that it's more comfortable, has punchier midrange and the best exhaust note. I personally think the M135 looks better and hs a nicer interior design than the A45 but the reviewer feels the opposite way. All down to personal preference I guess! Both great cars.

Latest Top Gear magazine also has the A45 quicker than the M135i. Some say M2 is a better comparison but if there is a M2, it won't be a hatchback.

So for now the quickest BMW hatchback is the M135i.
